The client for whom I’m writing the mystery got back to me; he’s happy about my choice of sleuth. Unfortunately, I’m not. I woke up this morning feeling distinctly uninspired. I ended up just reading through the material I created, and making some notes. I’ve no idea why I was pleased with the sleuth yesterday, and not today. If I don’t get a better idea, I’ll go with what I have.

I hope that is “meh” feeling will pass. No publishable words, just notes. I don’t count those in my daily word counts.

Onward to nonfiction: the company history; I manage 1,800 words, and do a quick reread of a couple of chapters.

Breakfast. First breakfast for Honey, and then my own, while reading email. I’m still a little behind, so I spend a couple of timer sessions responding to students.

Back from my walk. I need to prepare for a couple of coaching calls late this afternoon.

Then it’s time for my Saturday errands.

Back again. Just a few minutes until the two coaching calls.

Once they’re done, it’s late, so Saturday is done too.

Evernote for Everything

A reader ask about Evernote for writing. When I say for “everything” that’s what I mean. I use it for writing, of course. I have a Drafts notebook, which contains all my draft ideas, draft writing, and writing for client projects. I can work on projects anywhere. Since I write in Markdown, HTML is just a copy and paste away, as is MS Doc, and PDF.

Evernote would be a perfect writing environment if there were a visible word count. As things stand you have to open a note’s information panel to check the number of words.

Try it yourself, if you like to have everything you’re working on in reach, no matter where you are. I love Evernote; I’ve used it since 2009. The more you use it, the better it becomes. You can start a note, and Evernote will show you related notes. This can be amazing; it surfaces material you’ve long forgotten.
